Re-Thinking Men: Heroes, Villains and Victims - Paperback

by Anthony Synnott (Author)

Revised and updated, this book reverses the tendency in gender studies to portray men as villains and women as victims in a bi-polar paradigm, presenting data and studies from the US, Canada and the UK in the development of a comparative and revised perspective on gender.
